The wind outside was coming out of the west at a sustained rate of 30mph, with gusts around 45mph. With the air filled with powdery snow it was difficult to look into the wind even with something covering the eyes. I’ve felt this before!The last time I felt anything like this was about 5 months ago in a dust storm. High winds, a ton of fine particulate stuff in the air, low or zero visibility, this was a lot like a playa dust storm one might experience in the Black Rock Desert. Watching people walk from the shelter and warmth to their vehicle home was great… Everyone had so much energy! Running.. Dodging the cold.. and fading away in the dense thick air. Ah. I am counting the days! I wonder if the future will bring more dust storms?
